Algeria's economy is being hit hard by the plunge in global oil prices over the last 18 months. As a net oil exporter, the north African nation's currency, the Dinar has been devalued as foreign revenues decline. That's pushing up prices of imported goods for businesses and residents a like

Josh Sigurdson talks with author and economic analyst JohnSneisen regarding the recent development out of Algeria as the country issues helicopter money.
Algeria's economy has been weakening due to low oil revenue and a massive budget crisis, so the government has decided to borrow directly from the central bank while avoiding international debt markets which is an odd differentiation from most countries where helicopter money targets banks instead.
Well Ben Bernanke would be proud!
Algeria, an OPEC member has seen its government debt to GDP go from 8.8% in 2015 to 20.4% when last officially noted in 2016. Their current account to GDP is at about 13.5% when last officially noted in 2016.
As John Sneisen notes, it's likely that Algeria is heading towards a hyperinflation scenario and we could very likely see even more collaboration from the IMF which of course will result in more debt and more global subservience.
Stay tuned as we continue to cover this issue!

(25 Feb 2018) LEADIN:
As the Algerian capital prepares to host Turkish PresidentRecep Tayyip Erdogan, Middle EastExtra takes a look at how ex-pat Turks are faring in the north African nation.
STORYLINE
It looks and feels like Istanbul, but this is Algiers' main mall.
Here both Algerians and Turks come to sample some Turkish delights.
"They can revitalise themselves and travel to Istanbul by coming here. It's the same for the Algerian society because we share the same culture with Turkish people, and it (Turkey) is also a Muslim country. So the Algerian people are feeling very much in tune with the Turkish mentality," explains Fodil Ait Abbas, the manager of the Casbah Istanbul restaurant.
This kind of restaurant has become a meeting point for the Turkish community.
"We are new here and we believe in Algeria," says Abdulbaki Suleyman who has just arrived with his family to work for a Turkish company.
A few tables away, Bilal Akcay, another Turkish citizen, who has been working for a Turkish company based in Algiers since 2016, explains that he feels good here:
"I can come here to this Turkish restaurant, I go to many coffee places and hear those who see a Turk see him as a brother, it means they love us. We have no problem with Algerians at all."
In the suburbs of Algiers, a Turkish company is developing its activities. Since 2012, Trici Sud has specialised in wire mesh and cabling. Four Turkish people and 167 Algerian are working in those factories.
"Here in Algiers we produce 5,000 tonnes of wire every month, and in Oran 3,000 tonnes. We are an Algerian-Turkish company," explains manager Bilal Ozhan.
Tomorrow (Monday), Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to come to Algiers for an official state visit. It's the first date on an African tour where he will also visit Mauritania, Senegal and Mali.
During his visit to Algiers, Erdogan will inaugurate the Ketchaoua Mosque. This Mosque - located inside the Casbah - is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since 2014 it has been under a 7 million euro renovation via the private Turkish company TIKA. Turkey picked up the bill.
According to local media, Erdogan is also planning to cancel the visa policy between the two countries so Algerians will be able to travel to Turkey more easily.
The good relationship between Turkey and Algeria is visible in the capital's streets.
"Turkey is becoming a leader in terms of economy. The good relations between our two countries is an honour to all of us. We don't have the same relations with other Arab countries, because they are too divided," says local resident Hacene Boudaoud.
Ferhat Ait Ali is an Algerian economist. For him, Turkey's economic strategy is an example to follow.
"The current Turkish government is helping and giving possibilities to its companies to develop internationally. This is in order for them to create a base in the context of global capitalism, in globalisation. Those (Turkish) companies have entered into the world of globalisation. This is the opposite for us. Our economic and administrative system is preventing our companies from developing internationally and being able to establish themselves," he says.
Algeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abdelkader Messahel, said during a recent press conference in Ankara that "Algeria is the first commercial partner in Africa with 3.5 billion dollars exchanges."
He added that 796 Turkish companies are established in Algeria, employing more than 28,000 people.

Algeria's economy is struggling with low oil prices taking a heavy toll on its finances.
Hydrocarbons such as oil and natural gas account for 60 percent of Algeria's budget and make up 97 percent of its exports.
But with oil prices low and unlikely to bounce back for some time, Algeria's Central Bank expects its "black gold" to bring in only $34bn this year, down from $68bn in 2014.
In an effort to curb imports, the bank has allowed the dinar to sink to a record low against the US dollar.
Meanwhile, unemployment is becoming a problem - with those out of work expected to reach 11.9 percent in 2016.
To ease the pressure, the government has announced a 9 percent cut in next year's budget, but has ring-fenced housing, healthcare, education - areas cost that account for $60bn in government subsidies each year.
The IMF has urged Algeria to go beyond the 9 percent cuts and reduce spending on basic food items and petrol - both also heavily subsidised.
Meziane Lasfer, a professor in finance at the Cass Business School, joins Counting the Cost to discuss what can be done to diversify Algeria's economy and what the future holds for OPEC's largest member state.
Saudi Arabia: Selling hydrocarbons to buy carbohydrates
Saudi Arabia, one of the Middle East's biggest wheat exporters, is to stop almost all production next year to preserve its water wells.
Tabuk's wheat farms, which look like alien crop-circles in the harsh desert landscape, are to disappear to save ancient aquifers that are now believed to be running dry.
Reversing its policy of self-sufficiency, the kingdom will now join a host of other Middle East nations which rely entirely on imported wheat or, as the commodity traders like to put it, "sell hydrocarbons to buy carbohydrates".
John Sfakianakis, the GCCDirector for the Ashmore Group, joins the programme to discuss how and why it go this bad.

Algeria is huge: it’s the 10th largest country in the world. It’s larger than Mexico or Indonesia. However 80% of the land is occupied by the Sahara desert. Despite this, Algeria is relatively prosperous and stable, and has managed to become a regional power, dominating the politics in the region.

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Algeria.
1. Algeria is the largest country by area in Africa. Before 2011, when South Sudan became independent, Sudan was the largest. Just how big is it? It’s the 10th largest country in the world, bigger than Mexico or Indonesia, and almost 4 times larger than France!
2. The SaharaDesert covers 80 per cent of Algeria. The coastal areas, where 90% of Algerians live, are shielded from the harsh desert mostly by mountains, thus having a nice Mediterranean climate. The Saharan quarter has very high average temperatures of 38 up to 47C. The ground temperatures can easily reach 80C.
3. Ancient Algeria has known many empires and dynasties, including ancient Numidians, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Umayyads, Abbasids, Idrisid, Aghlabid, Rustamid, Fatimids, Zirid, Hammadids, Almoravids, Almohads, Ottomans and the French colonial empire. Berbers are generally considered to be the indigenous inhabitants of Algeria. Following the Arab conquest of North Africa, most indigenous inhabitants were Arabized.
4. Unlike in other Islamic nations, women in Algeria have gained more prominent status in the society. Women make up 60% of Algeria’s judges, 70% of the lawyers, and 60% of the student population. What’s more, they have a bigger household income contribution than men.
5. Algeria’s Tassili n’Ajjer National Park is also called “Plateau of the Rivers”. It is a large open sky museum where there are many prehistoric rock art drawings and other archaeological sites from the Neolithic era. 15,000 engravings have been identified to date.
6. The capital city of Algeria gave the country’s name: Algiers. The city name is derived from the Arabic name al-Jazā’ir, which translates as "The Islands", referring to the four islands which lay off the city's coast until becoming part of the mainland in 1525. Today it’s a modern city of 3.5 million people.
7. Between 1830 and 1962 Algeria was a colony of France. During the late 19th and early 20th century the European share was almost a 5th of the population. The French government aimed at making Algeria an assimilated part of France, and this included substantial educational investments especially after 1900.

Algiers

Algiers (Arabic:الجزائر‎, al-Jazā’er; Algerian Arabic pronunciation: دزاير Dzayer, Berber: Dzayer tamaneɣt, French:Alger) is the capital and largest city of Algeria. In 2011, the city's population was estimated to be around 3,500,000. An estimate puts the population of the larger metropolitan city to be around 5,000,000. Algiers is located on the Mediterranean Sea and in the north-central portion of Algeria.

Sometimes nicknamed El-Behdja (البهجة) or alternatively Alger la Blanche ("Algiers the White") for the glistening white of its buildings as seen rising up from the sea, Algiers is situated on the west side of a bay of the Mediterranean Sea. The modern part of the city is built on the level ground by the seashore; the old part, the ancient city of the deys, climbs the steep hill behind the modern town and is crowned by the casbah or citadel, 122 metres (400ft) above the sea. The casbah and the two quays form a triangle.

Etymology

The city name is derived (via FrenchAlger and CatalanAlger) from the Arabic name الجزائر al-Jazā’ir, which translates as "The Islands", referring to the four islands which lay off the city's coast until becoming part of the mainland in 1525. Al-Jazā’ir is itself a truncated form of the city's older name جزائر بني مزغانة Jaza'ir Bani Mazghana, "The Islands of the Sons of Mazghana", used by early medieval geographers such as al-Idrisi and Yaqut al-Hamawi.

Algiers (band)

Algiers is an American experimental band from Atlanta, Georgia. The band is composed of vocalist/guitarist Franklin James Fisher, bassist Ryan Mahan and guitarist Lee Tesche. Algiers pulls from a divergent number of musical (and nonmusical) influences; the most notable of which being post-punk, gospel music, Southern Gothic literature and the concept of the Other. Their sound has been described as "dystopian soul" due to its somber mood, afrofolk inspired vocal approach, and heavy emphasis on atonal textures.

History

The band met and grew up playing music together in Atlanta, Georgia but was officially formed in London in 2007. Their name evokes the anti-colonial struggle in general, symbolizing a contested space where violence, racism, resistance, and religion commingle.

The group released their first single “Blood” in January 2012 via Atlanta based label Double Phantom. Byron Coley for The Wire wrote “Although the fusion may have been touched upon in recordings related to both The Birthday Party and The Gun Club, Algiers are dedicated to grafting gospel music onto post-punk guitar-cuzz...this record is mesmerising and really sucks you in with its weird power.”

Algerian wine

Algerian wine is wine made in Algeria. While not a significant force on the world's wine market today, Algeria has played an important role in the history of wine. Algeria's viticultural history dates back to its settlement by the Phoenicians and continued under Algeria's rule by the Roman empire. Just prior to the Algerian War of Independence, Algerian wine (along with the production of Morocco and Tunisia) accounted for nearly two-thirds of the total international wine trade. With as much land under vine as the countries of Germany and South Africa, Algeria continues to maintain a wine industry with over 70 wineries in operation.

History

The roots of Algerian winemaking can be traced to the settlement of the Phoenicians and the influences of nearby Carthage. Under Roman rule, winemaking continued until the Muslim conquests of North Africa in the 7th and 8th centuries. During this time the wine industry was severely limited due to the prohibition of alcohol under Islamic dietary laws. When Algeria came under French rule in 1830 vineyards were replanted in order to serve the needs of the local pieds-noir. When the phylloxera epidemic destroyed the French vineyards in the mid-19th century, Algerian wine exports into France filled the void. An influx of winemakers from the German wine region of Baden brought with them more modern winemaking techniques and helped to increase the overall quality of Algeria wine. Even after the French resumed normal levels of wine production, Algerian wine was still widely used in regions like the Languedoc as a blending component that added color and strength to the wines.

1213 Algeria

1213 Algeria, provisional designation 1931 XD, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 33 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by French astronomer Guy Reiss at the North African Algiers Observatory on 5 December 1931. Three nights later, the body was independently discovered by Belgian–American astronomer George Van Biesbroeck at Williams Bay in the U.S state of Wisconsin.

The Saharan quarter has very high average temperatures of 38 up to 47C. The ground temperatures can easily reach 80C.
3. Ancient Algeria has known many empires and dynasties, including ancient Numidians, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Umayyads, Abbasids, Idrisid, Aghlabid, Rustamid, Fatimids, Zirid, Hammadids, Almoravids, Almohads, Ottomans and the French colonial empire. Berbers are generally considered to be the indigenous inhabitants of Algeria. Following the Arab conquest of North Africa, most indigenous inhabitants were Arabized.
4. Unlike in other Islamic nations, women in Algeria have gained more prominent status in the society. Women make up 60% of Algeria’s judges, 70% of the lawyers, and 60% of the student population. What’s more, they have a bigger household income contribution than men.
5. Algeria’s Tassili n’Ajjer National Park is also called “Plateau of the Rivers”. It is a large open sky museum where there are many prehistoric rock art drawings and other archaeological sites from the Neolithic era. 15,000 engravings have been identified to date.
6. The capital city of Algeria gave the country’s name: Algiers. The city name is derived from the Arabic name al-Jazā’ir, which translates as "The Islands", referring to the four islands which lay off the city's coast until becoming part of the mainland in 1525. Today it’s a modern city of 3.5 million people.
7. Between 1830 and 1962 Algeria was a colony of France. During the late 19th and early 20th century the European share was almost a 5th of the population. The French government aimed at making Algeria an assimilated part of France, and this included substantial educational investments especially after 1900.

Algeria currency depreciates on back of low oil prices

Coma In Algiers - Sex Money Death

Algeria Launches HELICOPTER MONEY As Economy Crumbles!

Josh Sigurdson talks with author and economic analyst JohnSneisen regarding the recent development out of Algeria as the country issues helicopter money.
Algeria's economy has been weakening due to low oil revenue and a massive budget crisis, so the government has decided to borrow directly from the central bank while avoiding international debt markets which is an odd differentiation from most countries where helicopter money targets banks instead.
Well Ben Bernanke would be proud!
Algeria, an OPEC member has seen its government debt to GDP go from 8.8% in 2015 to 20.4% when last officially noted in 2016. Their current account to GDP is at about 13.5% when last officially noted in 2016.

Counting the Cost - Algeria: The curse of falling oil prices

Algeria's economy is struggling with low oil prices taking a heavy toll on its finances.
Hydrocarbons such as oil and natural gas account for 60 percent of Algeria's budget and make up 97 percent of its exports.
But with oil prices low and unlikely to bounce back for some time, Algeria's Central Bank expects its "black gold" to bring in only $34bn this year, down from $68bn in 2014.
In an effort to curb imports, the bank has allowed the dinar to sink to a record low against the US dollar.
Meanwhile, unemployment is becoming a problem - with those out of work expected to reach 11.9 percent in 2016.

As John Sneisen notes, it's likely that Algeria is heading towards a hyperinflation scenario and we could very likely see even more collaboration from the IMF which of course will result in more debt and more global subservience.
Stay tuned as we continue to cover this issue!

(25 Feb 2018) LEADIN:
As the Algerian capital prepares to host Turkish PresidentRecep Tayyip Erdogan, Middle EastExtra takes a look at how ex-pat Turks are faring in the north African nation.
STORYLINE
It looks and feels like Istanbul, but this is Algiers' main mall.
Here both Algerians and Turks come to sample some Turkish delights.
"They can revitalise themselves and travel to Istanbul by coming here. It's the same for the Algerian society because we share the same culture with Turkish people, and it (Turkey) is also a Muslim country. So the Algerian people are feeling very much in tune with the Turkish mentality," explains Fodil Ait Abbas, the manager of the Casbah Istanbul restaurant.
This kind of restaurant has become a meeting point for the Turkish community.
"We are new here and we believe in Algeria," says Abdulbaki Suleyman who has just arrived with his family to work for a Turkish company.
A few tables away, Bilal Akcay, another Turkish citizen, who has been working for a Turkish company based in Algiers since 2016, explains that he feels good here:
"I can come here to this Turkish restaurant, I go to many coffee places and hear those who see a Turk see him as a brother, it means they love us. We have no problem with Algerians at all."
In the suburbs of Algiers, a Turkish company is developing its activities. Since 2012, Trici Sud has specialised in wire mesh and cabling. Four Turkish people and 167 Algerian are working in those factories.
"Here in Algiers we produce 5,000 tonnes of wire every month, and in Oran 3,000 tonnes. We are an Algerian-Turkish company," explains manager Bilal Ozhan.
Tomorrow (Monday), Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to come to Algiers for an official state visit. It's the first date on an African tour where he will also visit Mauritania, Senegal and Mali.
During his visit to Algiers, Erdogan will inaugurate the Ketchaoua Mosque. This Mosque - located inside the Casbah - is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since 2014 it has been under a 7 million euro renovation via the private Turkish company TIKA. Turkey picked up the bill.
According to local media, Erdogan is also planning to cancel the visa policy between the two countries so Algerians will be able to travel to Turkey more easily.
The good relationship between Turkey and Algeria is visible in the capital's streets.
"Turkey is becoming a leader in terms of economy. The good relations between our two countries is an honour to all of us. We don't have the same relations with other Arab countries, because they are too divided," says local resident Hacene Boudaoud.
Ferhat Ait Ali is an Algerian economist. For him, Turkey's economic strategy is an example to follow.
"The current Turkish government is helping and giving possibilities to its companies to develop internationally. This is in order for them to create a base in the context of global capitalism, in globalisation. Those (Turkish) companies have entered into the world of globalisation. This is the opposite for us. Our economic and administrative system is preventing our companies from developing internationally and being able to establish themselves," he says.
Algeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abdelkader Messahel, said during a recent press conference in Ankara that "Algeria is the first commercial partner in Africa with 3.5 billion dollars exchanges."
He added that 796 Turkish companies are established in Algeria, employing more than 28,000 people.

Algeria's economy is struggling with low oil prices taking a heavy toll on its finances.
Hydrocarbons such as oil and natural gas account for 60 percent of Algeria's budget and make up 97 percent of its exports.
But with oil prices low and unlikely to bounce back for some time, Algeria's Central Bank expects its "black gold" to bring in only $34bn this year, down from $68bn in 2014.
In an effort to curb imports, the bank has allowed the dinar to sink to a record low against the US dollar.
Meanwhile, unemployment is becoming a problem - with those out of work expected to reach 11.9 percent in 2016.
To ease the pressure, the government has announced a 9 percent cut in next year's budget, but has ring-fenced housing, healthcare, education - areas cost that account for $60bn in government subsidies each year.
The IMF has urged Algeria to go beyond the 9 percent cuts and reduce spending on basic food items and petrol - both also heavily subsidised.
Meziane Lasfer, a professor in finance at the Cass Business School, joins Counting the Cost to discuss what can be done to diversify Algeria's economy and what the future holds for OPEC's largest member state.
Saudi Arabia: Selling hydrocarbons to buy carbohydrates
Saudi Arabia, one of the Middle East's biggest wheat exporters, is to stop almost all production next year to preserve its water wells.
Tabuk's wheat farms, which look like alien crop-circles in the harsh desert landscape, are to disappear to save ancient aquifers that are now believed to be running dry.
Reversing its policy of self-sufficiency, the kingdom will now join a host of other Middle East nations which rely entirely on imported wheat or, as the commodity traders like to put it, "sell hydrocarbons to buy carbohydrates".
John Sfakianakis, the GCCDirector for the Ashmore Group, joins the programme to discuss how and why it go this bad.

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Algeria.
1. Algeria is the largest country by area in Africa. Before 2011, when South Sudan became independent, Sudan was the largest. Just how big is it? It’s the 10th largest country in the world, bigger than Mexico or Indonesia, and almost 4 times larger than France!
2. The SaharaDesert covers 80 per cent of Algeria. The coastal areas, where 90% of Algerians live, are shielded from the harsh desert mostly by mountains, thus having a nice Mediterranean climate. The Saharan quarter has very high average temperatures of 38 up to 47C. The ground temperatures can easily reach 80C.
3. Ancient Algeria has known many empires and dynasties, including ancient Numidians, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Umayyads, Abbasids, Idrisid, Aghlabid, Rustamid, Fatimids, Zirid, Hammadids, Almoravids, Almohads, Ottomans and the French colonial empire. Berbers are generally considered to be the indigenous inhabitants of Algeria. Following the Arab conquest of North Africa, most indigenous inhabitants were Arabized.
4. Unlike in other Islamic nations, women in Algeria have gained more prominent status in the society. Women make up 60% of Algeria’s judges, 70% of the lawyers, and 60% of the student population. What’s more, they have a bigger household income contribution than men.
5. Algeria’s Tassili n’Ajjer National Park is also called “Plateau of the Rivers”. It is a large open sky museum where there are many prehistoric rock art drawings and other archaeological sites from the Neolithic era. 15,000 engravings have been identified to date.
6. The capital city of Algeria gave the country’s name: Algiers. The city name is derived from the Arabic name al-Jazā’ir, which translates as "The Islands", referring to the four islands which lay off the city's coast until becoming part of the mainland in 1525. Today it’s a modern city of 3.5 million people.
7. Between 1830 and 1962 Algeria was a colony of France. During the late 19th and early 20th century the European share was almost a 5th of the population. The French government aimed at making Algeria an assimilated part of France, and this included substantial educational investments especially after 1900.

Algeria currency depreciates on back of low oil prices

Algeria's economy is being hit hard by the plunge in global oil prices over the last 18 months. As a net oil exporter, the north African nation's currency, the Dinar has been devalued as foreign revenues decline. That's pushing up prices of imported goods for businesses and residents a like

Algeria Launches HELICOPTER MONEY As Economy Crumbles!

Josh Sigurdson talks with author and economic analyst JohnSneisen regarding the recent development out of Algeria as the country issues helicopter money.
Algeria's economy has been weakening due to low oil revenue and a massive budget crisis, so the government has decided to borrow directly from the central bank while avoiding international debt markets which is an odd differentiation from most countries where helicopter money targets banks instead.
Well Ben Bernanke would be proud!
Algeria, an OPEC member has seen its government debt to GDP go from 8.8% in 2015 to 20.4% when last officially noted in 2016. Their current account to GDP is at about 13.5% when last officially noted in 2016.
As John Sneisen notes, it's likely that Algeria is heading towards a hyperinflation scenario and we could very likely see even more collaboration from the IMF which of course will result in more debt and more global subservience.
Stay tuned as we continue to cover this issue!

Turkish community thriving in Algeria

(25 Feb 2018) LEADIN:
As the Algerian capital prepares to host Turkish PresidentRecep Tayyip Erdogan, Middle EastExtra takes a look at how ex-pat Turks are faring in the north African nation.
STORYLINE
It looks and feels like Istanbul, but this is Algiers' main mall.
Here both Algerians and Turks come to sample some Turkish delights.
"They can revitalise themselves and travel to Istanbul by coming here. It's the same for the Algerian society because we share the same culture with Turkish people, and it (Turkey) is also a Muslim country. So the Algerian people are feeling very much in tune with the Turkish mentality," explains Fodil Ait Abbas, the manager of the Casbah Istanbul restaurant.
This kind of restaurant has become a meeting point for the Turkish community.
"We are new here and we believe in Algeria," says Abdulbaki Suleyman who has just arrived with his family to work for a Turkish company.
A few tables away, Bilal Akcay, another Turkish citizen, who has been working for a Turkish company based in Algiers since 2016, explains that he feels good here:
"I can come here to this Turkish restaurant, I go to many coffee places and hear those who see a Turk see him as a brother, it means they love us. We have no problem with Algerians at all."
In the suburbs of Algiers, a Turkish company is developing its activities. Since 2012, Trici Sud has specialised in wire mesh and cabling. Four Turkish people and 167 Algerian are working in those factories.
"Here in Algiers we produce 5,000 tonnes of wire every month, and in Oran 3,000 tonnes. We are an Algerian-Turkish company," explains manager Bilal Ozhan.
Tomorrow (Monday), Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to come to Algiers for an official state visit. It's the first date on an African tour where he will also visit Mauritania, Senegal and Mali.
During his visit to Algiers, Erdogan will inaugurate the Ketchaoua Mosque. This Mosque - located inside the Casbah - is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since 2014 it has been under a 7 million euro renovation via the private Turkish company TIKA. Turkey picked up the bill.
According to local media, Erdogan is also planning to cancel the visa policy between the two countries so Algerians will be able to travel to Turkey more easily.
The good relationship between Turkey and Algeria is visible in the capital's streets.
"Turkey is becoming a leader in terms of economy. The good relations between our two countries is an honour to all of us. We don't have the same relations with other Arab countries, because they are too divided," says local resident Hacene Boudaoud.
Ferhat Ait Ali is an Algerian economist. For him, Turkey's economic strategy is an example to follow.
"The current Turkish government is helping and giving possibilities to its companies to develop internationally. This is in order for them to create a base in the context of global capitalism, in globalisation. Those (Turkish) companies have entered into the world of globalisation. This is the opposite for us. Our economic and administrative system is preventing our companies from developing internationally and being able to establish themselves," he says.
Algeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abdelkader Messahel, said during a recent press conference in Ankara that "Algeria is the first commercial partner in Africa with 3.5 billion dollars exchanges."
He added that 796 Turkish companies are established in Algeria, employing more than 28,000 people.

Counting the Cost - Algeria: The curse of falling oil prices

Algeria's economy is struggling with low oil prices taking a heavy toll on its finances.
Hydrocarbons such as oil and natural gas account for 60 percent of Algeria's budget and make up 97 percent of its exports.
But with oil prices low and unlikely to bounce back for some time, Algeria's Central Bank expects its "black gold" to bring in only $34bn this year, down from $68bn in 2014.
In an effort to curb imports, the bank has allowed the dinar to sink to a record low against the US dollar.
Meanwhile, unemployment is becoming a problem - with those out of work expected to reach 11.9 percent in 2016.
To ease the pressure, the government has announced a 9 percent cut in next year's budget, but has ring-fenced housing, healthcare, education - areas cost that account for $60bn in government subsidies each year.
The IMF has urged Algeria to go beyond the 9 percent cuts and reduce spending on basic food items and petrol - both also heavily subsidised.
Meziane Lasfer, a professor in finance at the Cass Business School, joins Counting the Cost to discuss what can be done to diversify Algeria's economy and what the future holds for OPEC's largest member state.
Saudi Arabia: Selling hydrocarbons to buy carbohydrates
Saudi Arabia, one of the Middle East's biggest wheat exporters, is to stop almost all production next year to preserve its water wells.
Tabuk's wheat farms, which look like alien crop-circles in the harsh desert landscape, are to disappear to save ancient aquifers that are now believed to be running dry.
Reversing its policy of self-sufficiency, the kingdom will now join a host of other Middle East nations which rely entirely on imported wheat or, as the commodity traders like to put it, "sell hydrocarbons to buy carbohydrates".
John Sfakianakis, the GCCDirector for the Ashmore Group, joins the programme to discuss how and why it go this bad.

Algiers

Algiers (Arabic:الجزائر‎, al-Jazā’er; Algerian Arabic pronunciation: دزاير Dzayer, Berber: Dzayer tamaneɣt, French:Alger) is the capital and largest city of Algeria. In 2011, the city's population was estimated to be around 3,500,000. An estimate puts the population of the larger metropolitan city to be around 5,000,000. Algiers is located on the Mediterranean Sea and in the north-central portion of Algeria.

Sometimes nicknamed El-Behdja (البهجة) or alternatively Alger la Blanche ("Algiers the White") for the glistening white of its buildings as seen rising up from the sea, Algiers is situated on the west side of a bay of the Mediterranean Sea. The modern part of the city is built on the level ground by the seashore; the old part, the ancient city of the deys, climbs the steep hill behind the modern town and is crowned by the casbah or citadel, 122 metres (400ft) above the sea. The casbah and the two quays form a triangle.

Etymology

The city name is derived (via FrenchAlger and CatalanAlger) from the Arabic name الجزائر al-Jazā’ir, which translates as "The Islands", referring to the four islands which lay off the city's coast until becoming part of the mainland in 1525. Al-Jazā’ir is itself a truncated form of the city's older name جزائر بني مزغانة Jaza'ir Bani Mazghana, "The Islands of the Sons of Mazghana", used by early medieval geographers such as al-Idrisi and Yaqut al-Hamawi.
